 "Poor Quality, Inferior Product" 2008-10-11
By Melissa (USA)
We purchased this television in January 2006 and the lamp went out within the first 3 months. Now the $2000 set, at 2 1/2 years old, has a problem with the light engine and color wheel. I have no picture sometimes with off an on screen with distorted colors and a loud grinding noise from the set. I am told it will cost around $700 to fix. I did not expect television like this to only last a couple of years. When I contacted Toshiba their customer service basically says too bad for consumers with the bad luck of purchasing their poor quality, unreliable product. I do not plan to give Toshiba another dime. I understand there may be a class action for some models on the lamp issue.

 "No problem at all!!" 2008-03-16
By Jay Stark (Albion, MI USA)
We bought this TV in June 2006. It was the display model at Sears. After finally getting the remote and manual (always a problem when buying a demo) we were in business.

First we had Dish Network, and a fantastic picture! (Install guy was a bit jealous.) About a year ago we went to cable (Broadstripe - Michigan) and continue to get a great picture.

We have had NO bulb issues, amazing seeing how it was a demo. (Having said that, I just bet that bulb is going to blow now!)

Sound is excellent. Picture is to die for.

Maybe we just got lucky with our model. I mean sure, we'll have to replace the bulb sometime, but it beats replacing the whole tv, e.g., like when the plasma tv wears out.

I'd buy one again, and recommend it to a friend.

 "59HM95 Very Poor Lamp Life and Customer Support" 2008-03-07
By Ralph E. Grinnell Jr. (San Antonio, TX)
After purchasing this television in late 2005, we've had to replace the lamp (bulb) three times! The second lamp (bulb) we purchased in December 2007 lasted for less than 90 days after it was installed! At $250 - $300 a each, this is adding a lot to the cost of ownership. March 6, 2008, when I went to the Toshiba website I found Toshiba added a two year extended warranty to the lamp; however, when I called Toshiba customer service I was told that the exteneded warranty was only for the ORIGINAL lamp. Since I am on my THIRD lamp it doesn't apply to me. Please don't take my word for it, read other reviews from Toshiba DLP owners who are having the same or similar problems BEFORE you buy! Buyer beware.

 "Great TV.......at first" 2007-09-29
By David Kircher (Avondale, Az)
I ordered the 52HM95 in 2005 and at first, I thought it was the best. The picture on it was the best I have seen. However, in the first year, the lamp burned out, fortunately, it was still under warranty and was replaced without cost to us. The remote has a distinct hum to in whenever it is lit(whenever a button is pushed). We recently noticed discolorization on the left hand of the screen, which looks distinctly like a magnet is too close to the screen. Since It is a freestanding television with no magnets or speakers anywhere near it, I can only assume it is due to the internal speakers of the television. Toshiba will do nothing about it since it is out of warranty. I would warn anyone to stay away from Toshiba televisions and look elsewhere.

 "Good Picture / bad service" 2009-08-29
By E. Winfrey (Nashville TN USA)
I purchased the 52RV530U in September of 2008 and had no problems at all until July of this year. Fortunately it was under warranty but I have been waiting over a month for a replacement screen.

In reading various reviews on the Regza series of LCD sets, there seems to be a lot of problems connected to the screens that occur on or about the time the warranty is to expire. I had been very happy with the performance of this set and the problem seemed to appear overnight. I had planned on requesting a replacement of the set itself but I am now having second thoughts. I wonder if the newer XV and ZV series are any more reliable. I would be curious to know how many more folks have had screen problems.

 "Very Good, but not perfect" 2009-01-04
By R. Barton (Detroit,Mi)
I bought this to replace one of the Samsung 40"ers I won playing poker (long story). I wanted BIGGER than the 40 and caught this at a good price early xmas eve, so most of my comparison is to the Samsung it replaced. The Good: Bigger is better, much deeper and richer blacks, does not blur with speed ie football game etc, better viewing angle, better anti glare, auto channel scan picks up much more channels and much faster, auto channel scan auto tunes both cable, digital and analog tv signals and locked them in with 1 sweep, deeper and more detailed menu and options. Lots of manual pic size adjustments, 4 hdmi inputs, remote passthru

The Bad (or not so good): Colors are not as bright or sharp. Colors are not as 'REAL' ie skin tone etc. Sound system mediocre even with SRS wow, eq and enhancements (I use a very hi end audio system for movies anyway) remote kinda clutery and not friendly and range not good, deep menu and manual also clutery and somewhat unfriendly, fixed stand does not swival, only 1 cable/antenna input, so it is not possible to hookup both a Cable line and an (hdtv) antenna, 1 side input port, but no front port. Lots of manual size and pic adjustments, but the Samsung had auto settings for most and did it very well.. (who wants to go through lots of menu stuff when going from a widescreen dvd to a regulaor dvd) Has a "Game Mode" but it really sucks compared to the Samsung's.

Overall I am happy and satisfied with my purchase. The picture comparison to my old Samsung is a wash. Blacks better on Toshiba, Colors better on Samsung, but Toshiba doesn't blur. Features about the same, but Toshiba had more manual adj and samsung more automatic. Last, this TV looks good, but was not the best in the store. The store had approx 40 tv's going all same channel and all of the 120hz pics where better, but some of the normal Samsung and Sony pics where somewhat better. All the other cheaper or 'off' brands like LG Vizio etc clearly had a much worse pic. I purchased this because the pic was certainly good to very good and the price was right $1100 + tax.

 "powers off twice a day" 2008-10-05
By Randy Smith (Oklahoma City, OK USA)
After buying and setting up this set, it powers itself off twice a day at the same times. I made sure the sleep timer and game timer were both set to zero, but still happens. Such a shame because the picture quality was far better than the other sets at the showroom. This is the 2nd Toshiba TV I had go bad, so I probably won't buy this brand again. My other LCD TV is an Emerson and has had absolutely no problems at all. The Toshiba is going back and I'm getting another brand.

 "REGZA" 2008-07-16

I recently purchased the REGZA 52RV530U LCD HDTV. I am very happy with the performance and picture. The screen size is manually adjustable which I really like. My Sharp Aquos adjusts automatically to the input it recieves. Overall the picture quality is excellent and I believe matches the higher price sets. Fast motion is in no way blurry and I can't see any blurring at all.



Beautiful set I would highly recommend.

 "No football for Thanksgiving but stripes are vivid now fixed" 2009-11-27
By Not A Picky Person (Los Angeles, CA)
From great on March 09 to rainbow stripes seven months later on Thanksgiving Weekend 09. Rainbow stripes on the right side show up within a few seconds of turning the TV on. Checked HDMI input from Receiver playing blue ray disc, on cable box directly, and on each of the HDMI inputs. No difference. Used different cable: still have stripes. Stripes are very sharp and clear and take up half the screen. Only half of the screen of the football games, NCIS, basketball games, House and any DVD/Blue ray disk is visible. Even unplugged set and plugged back in but to no effect.



Phone number for Toshiba customer support is all voice response, no real people, even though the recording says they are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Based on my zip code, I was referred to a local contracted TV repair place. I'll see if anything happens on 4 day weekend.



Until this episode, the TV was wonderful but I try to wait 9 months before rating a product.



UPDATE 1 week later:

HMO - Toshiba TV repair much the same. The local TV repair had to call Toshiba Technical Services and go over the problem. If Toshiba Technical Services agrees, they send an ok to proceed with repair. Local TV repair orders the part. In this case, the panel (glass picture screen to me) was bad and had to be ordered. Estimated time: 1 more week.



UPDATE Returned repaired after almost 4 weeks

Picture excellent. Back to normal. Hope this lasts long time.

I purchased this TV about 10 months ago. It has been working great. It has a good appreance. The illuminating logo is an extra feature.

 "Toshiba 52 inch LCD TV" 2009-09-12
By Robert D. Keller (baton rouge, La.)
This is an excellent TV and I was able to purchase it for $1200 delivered. The menus are a little difficult until you learn them, but very nice after you do. The sound system is outstanding, and the picture has several modes to choose from depending on what your source is. This is an outstanding bargain at anything close to $1200. Consumer Reports had it rated high at $1900. Toshiba is another one of those companies that is experiencing a slow economy, so look for a reduced price on any model you choose.

 "Amazing TV for the price..." 2009-08-21
By M. Valladao (Medford, OR United States)
I purchased this TV in early February, so I've had a few months to break it in. Here are my thoughts. When hooked up to a true HD signal 720p or 1080i/p the picture is crisp and clean. I adjusted the color settings to make it appropriate for my living room, something I suggest that EVERYONE does. Sometimes it seems that the whole picture will move except for one part of the screen, I haven't figured out if that is a TV issue, or a source issue. I have to say I am a little disappointed when I watch a SDTV from my DirecTV DVR, and because of that I don't watch much TV in SD. Call me a HD snob, but the HD picture is SOOOO much better. Like many people have said, the sound isn't great, but it isn't terrible either. I run all the sound through a H/K reciever, so that doesn't really affect me. DVD's look great, Blu-Ray on my PS3 looks amazing.



Video: 4 out of 5

Audio: 3 out of 5

Value: 5 out of 5



I am quite happy with my purchase. The delivery guy even helped me get it on its stand before he took off. If you are waffling about this item, waffle no more and just get it, you won't regret it, besides football season is already here, Go Niners!!!

 "Beward vertical red lines" 2010-01-09
By K. Martin (Kenosha, WI)
I've had this TV for 22 months. It worked flawlessly, and I would have given it 5 stars. However, today I turned it on had got the dreaded vertical red line on the right side of the screen. Looks like this is a common problem with Toshiba LCD TVs. This is my first LCD TV -- all my prior TVs were the CRT type, and they held up for years (as opposed to months for this Toshiba). Do your homework before buying this TV.

I had this tv for one year and few days when I noticed dead pixels in an oval shape in the center of the screen.

 "Great TV, possible screen problem" 2008-11-18
By B. Nardi
This TV (REGZA 52HL167) produces an amazingly nice picture. You've seen the details in others' reviews. I agree with them whole heartedly. The only picture I saw that may be slightly better is the SONY Bravia series, but the cost is significantly higher.



A point that could use a bit more emphasis: the matte screen finish on this TV all but eliminates reflections. This is especially important if the TV sits in a room with lots of windows, as mine does. No other LCD TV I've seen (and I've seen many) competes with the REGZA on this score.



Something to beware of, though it's probably a universal problem not unique to Toshiba: the screen can develop an ever expanding blotch of dead pixels. Six months after delivery I saw a row of about 5 pixels which had died near the center of the screen. Daily this started expanding, and after about a month there was a 12 inch by 1/2 inch gash of dead pixels, with a 1-1/2 inch circle of dead pixels in the middle. (This is similar to the head-on airplane pattern described in another review.) The Toshiba warranty covered this completely. The screen was replaced, but it did take several months of waiting. Never mind, I was grateful to have it fixed at no cost. The repair person said he had seen this before and it was caused by a de-lamination of the active LCD elements from the screen. Go figure.



Bottom line is I would definitely buy this TV again. Another I would consider, with a great picture and good price: the Philips 52PFL7422D.

 "Love this TV!!" 2008-10-17
By Software Guru (Seattle, WA)
I've owned this TV for about a year now and wanted to share my experience. I have or had it hooked up to the following components:



HDTV Antenna(DB4)(Coax)

Wii(Component)

Xbox 360 (via component)

Yamaha 5.1 receiver(HDMI)

Roku Netflix Box(HDMI)

Comcast HD DVR Box(HDMI)

Toshiba HD-DVD Player(HDMI)

Dell Home Theater PC(VGA)



It has worked flawlessly with all these components except the Netflix ROKU box, which there seems to be conflict with the HDCP technology and causes an intermittent green screen to appear. Its really more of an annoyance than anything and I've not spent much time troubleshooting it.



When I bought this TV, I was comparing it to the well rated Samsung and Sony models but ended going with this model after comparing them side by side at my local A/V store. The biggest selling points for me were the viewing angle and color vibrancy. A year later, I'm not disappointed with my decision and am still very happy with the vibrancy and viewing angle.



Several months ago, I dropped my cable service and decided to get my content via a HD antenna, Roku Box and my Home Theater PC(Hulu, YouTube, Amazon, ect). I wasn't sure what to expect when I made this change, but have been happy with the selection and especially the video quality through the HD antenna. The built in tuner is very easy to use and once setup it's a no-brainer. I don't know if I'll ever switch back to cable.



Overall, I'm very happy with this TV>

 "Very Pleased!" 2009-01-15
By Donfenn (L.A. California)
Thumbs Up on this Toshiba 52" LCD.. I pondered this purchase for a while, but finally committed at great price directly through Amazon. I picked this Toshiba over the Samsung and competing sets due to the semi-matte screen, rather than a more reflective surface, as my room has a bunch of reflected light issues. I am happy that I made this choice. The delivery went perfectly, and the set was delivered and unpacked by the crew with care. After installation I have been totally pleased and content with the video quality. I really cannot comment on the built in sound and tuner since I have an external home theater set-up, but the visual performance of this unit is stunning, with no flaws.

 "If you already have your health, a love of your life, education & travel experience, this HDTV should be next on your list." 2008-10-26
By Moxxi (Canada)
After reading many reviews, talking to people, and viewing the product in store, I decided on the 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV54OU. I bought it primarily for movies and gaming - but will order the HDTV service within the week after choking down the $570 cost of the PVR. Before I hooked up even regular cable service to the TV, I attempted to see what an Xbox 360 game looked like. I have an original Xbox 360, so no HDMI, but I was using the VGA adapter. Hooking the game system up to the PC proved to be slightly problematic as I had the X360 set to the highest resolution. For some reason the TV couldn't accept it at the resolution - discovered that thanks to the internet! - so I had to hook up my PC monitor back to the X360 to change the resolution to the 2nd last highest setting. Note, you'll also have to turn on the "PC input" in the settings on the TV and set the TV to be on the PC setting via INPUT on the remote. Even thought it wasn't 1080p, the game looked out of this world fantastic. We watched Iron Man on the X360 and it was fantastic. I was all set to buy a PS3 for the BlueRay DVD (and for gaming) today, but after seeing how impressive a regular DVD looks on this bad boy, I decided to keep my money in my pocket a little longer.



Regular cable TV looks excellent on this set, better than most in my opinion, although the HDTV is jaw-dropping having seen it at the store. While I was at an electronics store, I happened to walk by a display which included a 46" Regza, surrounded by some Sharp, Sony and Samsung product. The folks standing around were admiring the picture of the Regza which was definitely sharper and superior to its peers. I think they walked out with one.



Haven't seen a need to try the Gaming Mode which decreases the time it takes for the button input on the controller to register with the onscreen movement.



Setup was incredibly easy and intuitive. Everything is labeled clearly and the onscreen menus are easy to navigate and understand. The TV takes awhile to turn on, but after reading the manual I realized it's because the TV is set to Power Saver Mode.



The TV speakers are functional and not bad at all, but if you're going this big you have to with some quality home theater speakers, natch.



I could not be happier with this TV. It's so big and vivid that it makes my wife ill - which is almost a bizarre selling feature. My son was playing Spider-Man Web of Shadows and I took to the skies and as I fell towards the streets of New York, I got butterflies in my stomach. That hasn't happened before.



There is literally no point in going to the theater anymore and paying big bucks to take the family as we've now got the best seats in the house and there's never a line up.

 "Great TV & delivery" 2008-10-02
By Jeff Thacker
I ordered this TV with a lot of trepidation. Not because of the TV, because I had looked at it at a local Fry's Electronics and new it was a good-looking TV. I wanted to save money since Amazon was cheaper and I wouldn't have to pay sales tax, but I was leery of ordering such a big ticket item online.



Fortunately, my fears were unwarranted. The white glove delivery service was excellent. They brought the TV into my apartment, unboxed it and placed it on my TV stand. The delivery men then waited, somewhat patiently (but were still in a hurry), while I plugged in the HDMI cable from the cable box and checked the set for any sign of dead pixels or screen damage.



So far, the TV has been great. I wish it had slightly less reflections on the screen, but it's at least a matte screen, so they aren't bad. And really I only see them when the TV is off or on really dark screen sections. I think some curtains in the living room will clear them up.



I've only had it less than a week so far, so I haven't done everything with it, but I've watched some standard def DVDs, standard def TV, and HDTV. The standard def TV is good, but it's not what you buy this TV for. The HDTV channels are AMAZING. DVDs look great, too (playing through my PS3, which is upconverting). I can't wait to get Iron Man as my first Blu-ray disc and check it out.

 "at it's price range near the top in features" 2008-07-18
By Michael P. Dobey (colorado springs)
This tv is the best at it's PRICE range for a 52" lcd tv. At this price range you want to consider this tv and a sony z series. I will elaborate on the reason why in this review. It's got a great picture but it's not as sharp as the sony z series which costs the same amount for a smaller 46" generally. The toshiba does have a slightly better picture than the new sony 52" w series of the same size which is around the same price. However the toshiba does support deep color and 5:5 pulldown which is the same thing as 24 p or film speed or 24 frames per second. this is a important new technology that samsung forgot to include on their new lcd series. Many blu ray players output blu rays at 24p if your tv can take the signal. When this happens the movie looks like it did in the movie theater with smooth motion. The same sized sony w series does this also but isn't as sharp picture wise as this tv but and it lacks deep color which this tv has. Anyways if you have a blu ray player or ps3 you want a tv that can intake 24p or 5:5 pulldown. (these are the same thing). the toshiba does this and gives you deep color and the w series of sony of the same size just gives you 24p. You get more picture size for a little more money with this toshiba than the z series. But you don't get x.v. color which helps expand the color. the sony z series and above do this function.

the new sony xbr6 will have 24p, deep color, and x.v. color too and will be the same size as this tv but will run you alot more. Of course you DON'T want any lcd that can't do 120hz and most NEW lcd tv's do that. At this price range for this size of tv , toshiba is the best bet. If you want a sharper picture though you will have to drop down to the z series which is only a 46" or xbr5 which is more expensive. Why am I going on about x.v. color , deep color, and 24p (5:5 pulldown)?, because these are the standards that will carry us into the far future. deep color and x.v. color allow the tv to accept more color and show more color. if they offer tv's with greater than 1080p this is LESS important because nothing will be set to output at that anyway. so it's not that important. but having a lcd tv that can do 120 hz, is a good thing, greater hz(240) lcds will come in the next few years probably, but you will have a good enough tv to be satisfied with a 120 hz tv.

for many , many , years to come. and this tv is good enough to be happy with for at least five years conservatively. It has the 24p (5:5 pulldown)amd deep color and a large screen. It doesn't have the x.v. color but to get it at this price you must find a smaller z series from sony. Many representitives at stores have not been informed on these new standards , which you will want far into the future. But if you have blu ray you NEED a tv that does 24p (5:5 pulldown). why spend money on a LARGER 42' and above lcd without this feature? So it comes down to it at this price range, a smaller z series with all the new standards or this great tv with two of the new standards. But whatever you get you want the 24p standard. this has it, sadly the samsung lcd ranges and many others don't. If you can't live without a 52 inch then this a good buy also. but if you want the best picture (at this price range) out there right now you would go with a z series. These are the new 2008 models of course that this review has been comparing. This is a long review but few salesmen are telling their customers about the new standards at all. And you do get two of them on this tv so that makes this a better buy than alot of other tv's at this price. At this price range I would suggest you look at this in a showroom, the picture quality is great , the z series is clearer though but smaller for the same price range. So far the models on showrooms here show no defects or purple blotches. Some lcds get those defects in early runs. So that is more good news. All in all , this is a fine tv with a great picture and good blacks, it has a good processor too so it is a better buy than the sony w series of the same size. And it's not as great a tv as the sony z series but it is bigger. Many go for the samsungs at this size but they shortchanged their customers by leaving off 24p film speed and deep color. So skip them and think toshiba or sony lcd and then compare.

 "Best Deal for 120 hz TV" 2008-05-29
By R. Rodriguez (Houston, TX)
I've been looking at buying a 52 LCD for 6 months. Wanted a Toshiba lx177 from last year but decided to wait for further change in technology. Looked at last years Samsung 71's and Sony xbr4's and all had issues. I waited for the 52xv540 because the quality was there for the right price. This tv looked great out of the box and has dazzled my Sony owning nieghbors who paid more than a $1000 more for thier tv's. Bluray & ps3 are incredible and if you like the motion technology on these high end tv's, you'll love Toshibas version of it. It's less intrusive than Samsungs & Sony's version but still it's evident and gives the picture a 3D look. Your HD channels will really shine. SD tv looks pretty good but your not buying this tv to look at analog channels, right? If your looking at this tv or the thin bezel version xf550, then you'll want to compare it to the new Samsung 650's and the new Sony w series. Take a look at those and price compare, read some forums and I think you'll love this tv as much as I do! I saved over $800 by buying online!

10-bit Processing and 10-bit Display While it's great to state that a TV is capable of creating billions of colors it's a whole lot
better when you have a display that can actually display them. That's the logic behind Sony's 10-bit processor and 10-bit display.
Sony follows 10-bit processing with a 10-bit panel, allowing 64 times the levels of color expression than an 8-bit panel. What that
translates to is smoother transitions from color to color and subtle color changes faithfully reproduced.
